XBRL

Jul 09

The XBRL spec will put you to sleep. In any case, I’m making an XBRL parser in ruby. Yeah, we already have xbrlware community edition, but it’s artificially limited and I didn’t want that, so I’m building my own. Also, xbrlware represents the entire taxonomy as a Ruby class. I am going to make mine a little more generic than that.

  1. you don’t meet all the req’s, but the XBRL field is so small you may have a shot. You might ask about internships too, to get your foot in the door
